Mysuru: The Dewan Poornaiah Canal is the main feeder Canal that brings fresh water to the Kukkarahalli Lake. Of the original length of 22-km, only 4-km remains today, thanks to unscientific approach towards the development of layouts and lack of concern for the environment.
Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, Naturalist U.N. Ravikumar, who is also a wetland specialist, said that when the Kukkarahalli Lake was built by the Maharajas, 22-km Dewan Poornaiah Canal was constructed to feed fresh water to the Lake from Bommanahalli Lake near Huyilalu village.
